Other World Mapper beta

Post by user001 » Thu Feb 18, 2016 7:28 pm

Just bought the beta - anyone else having trouble with region/boundary lines following the contours of landmasses? Even when I click on the "click to follow contour" I just get the regular fractal lines, not a line that follows the contour of the landmass.

What Windows version are you running?

(I'm moving this thread to under bugs)

Thanks!

No problem!

Are you having this problem all the time? Or just with some landmasses? There was an issue with one of our Windows dependencies that we created a work around for (the issue fix will be out with Beta 3), but we thought it only affected Windows Vista.

Can you email me a map with landmasses showing this problem? (acanosa@threemindssoftware.com)

Thank you!!

Here's another questions - how do I make a small dot on the map that would represent a city or town? I don't want to use any of the art provided in feature tool - just need to create a small black circle on the map that I'd then label with text.

Thanks!

Hello!

Beta 4 will include a "normal" cartography set with city symbols, capital, etc, and such. Originally scheduled for Beta 3 but it didn't quite make it.

They will be SVG symbols so you could scale them as you want without pixelation, etc.
